ABOUT

I am a sociologist and a social demographer (PhD), currently appointed as an Associate Professor (Professor Agregat) at the Department of Sociology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and as a researcher at the Centre for Demographic Studies, where I act as a head of the Generations and Life Course research group.

I have received an ICREA Acadèmia award that grants me the support to have a research intensification period of 5 years (2023-2027). I am the (co-)chair of the IUSSP Scientific Panel on Lifetime Migration of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (2023-2025). I am also a Life Course Centre affiliate of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course, and a BiB fellow of the German Federal Institute for Population Research.

I have substantive expertise in several fields of demographic research –particularly family dynamics and spatial mobility– and social inequality research. My research adopts life course and cross-national approaches, and uses state-of-the-art quantitative methods for the analysis of longitudinal data.

I am an ERC Grant holder, currently leading the LIFELONGMOVE project funded by the European Research Council (Consolidator Grant, 2023-2027). I have also received funding from the German Research Council (Sachbeihilfe, 2015–2017) and the Spanish Government (Ramon y Cajal grant, 2017-2022; I+D+i Retos de la Investigación, 2019-2021; I+D+i Generación del Conocimiento, 2022-2025), among others, to support my research.
